Sweden is a scary place

[millionreasons]

Hej! This time last year, Fosca'd just come back from Sweden, a country seemingly populated by cute, young bicycle riding people who feel a lot of angst and drink a lot of alcohol. This makes it the perfect place for indie pop to flourish. Here is a round up of all the bonkers Swedish groups I have listened to lately:

The Zeitgeist - Baxendaley electropop
I'm from Barcelona - the Magic Numbers meet Architecture in Helsinki uptown
Suburban Kids with Biblical Names -  wondrous crazy
Lucky Misu - piano pop
Bobby Baby - cute smooth quiet synth tunes
Rough Bunnies - Moldy Peaches vs Beat Happening
Slagsmålsklubben - casio madness
Club 8 - the original Svenska indiepop
Irene - trumpet-filled feelgood music to bop to in the bedroom
South Ambulance - Sarah-esque jangles

and of course, the ever lovely Jens Lekman.

I love Club 8. Will have to check out the others, none of whom I've heard of before!

Jens Lekman is just wonderful.
